Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and on this day, I had a most wonderful meal. Super Sister and Paul were so right. I loved dining at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Thank you for the treat! From what I understand, Kerbey Lane Cafe is well known throughout Austin, and I can understand why. Breakfast […]
Have you ever ridden a Duck? – one of those amphibious tour vehicles. Super Sister and Husband Paul treated me to an Austin Duck Adventures Tour. Great fun, and I learned something also.

Mentioned to a friend that Ever-Lovin’ and I had been to The Mecca. “Oh, I would love to see and eat at the new Mecca,” says she. (Many years ago, this friend had a connection with the owners of the Mecca, and during those days, she and her husband often dined at The Mecca.) Well… […]
The Dallas Arboretum – beautiful plants and flowers – Chihuly glass adorning the gardens (until November 5) – and then if you thought it couldn’t get any better – they add 50,000 pumpkins.
